Connecting the Speakers

—Continued

Read the following before connecting your
speakers:
• Disconnect the power cord from the wall

outlet before making any connections.

• Connect only speakers with an impedance

of 6 ohms or higher.

• Read the instructions supplied with your

speakers.

• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polar-

ity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only
positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) ter-
minals to only negative (–) terminals. If
you get them the wrong way around, the
sound will be out of phase and will sound
unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker

cables may affect the sound quality and
should be avoided.

• Be careful not to short

the positive and nega-
tive wires. Doing so
may damage the
HTX-22HDX.

• Don’t connect more than one cable to each

speaker terminal. Doing so may damage
the HTX-22HDX.

• Don’t connect a speaker to several termi-

nals.

1

Remove the pre-
cut insulation from
the ends of the
speaker cables,
and twist the bare
wires tightly.

2

Push the lever to open
the hole, insert the
bare wire into the hole,
and then release the
lever.

Make sure that the speaker terminals are grip-
ping the bare wires, not the insulation.
